The intelligence content of Qinghe and Chen Dynasty underwent a huge deviation at this moment.

Because Xue Wuxia and her auxiliary troops encountered the Chen Dynasty light infantry who were heading to reinforce No. 1 after capturing the No. 3 transit station on the way to retreat to the fortress, Xue Wuxia's journey, which was originally scheduled to be completed in four days, was forcibly delayed by one day.

And on this day, many events occurred that had far-reaching consequences.

The one that had the greatest impact was the death of Huang Zong, the vanguard general of Qinghe and commander of the First Army!

After capturing the No. 2 and No. 3 transfer stations, the two Chen Dynasty light infantry units rushed to No. 1 for reinforcement as planned. On the way, one of them met Xue Wuxia and the auxiliary troops she led. The two enemies were extremely jealous of each other when they met, and they started fighting immediately.

It’s a pity that Xue Wuxia is not good at commanding in battle, and the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary troops is indeed lacking. Although they have an advantage in numbers, they fell into a slump soon after the war began.

Fortunately, the light infantry of the Chen Dynasty on the opposite side were also exhausted, and many of them even went into battle with injuries.

The two sides fought fiercely, but neither could defeat the other, so they had to stop fighting and call a truce.

After clearly realizing his own strengths and weaknesses, Xue Wuxia simply returned the command to the auxiliary captain, asking him to continue to stop the Chen Dynasty's advance on the spot, while he took two intelligence operators to take a detour to the fortress to report the news and ask for help.

But another group of Chen Dynasty light infantry successfully arrived at the No. 1 transfer station.

Or rather, it is a ruin of what was once called the No. 1 Transfer Station.

There, they learned roughly what had happened from the mouths of a few surviving cavalrymen who had been stuck there for several days, not knowing what to do.

It's simple to say.

Lieutenant General Li risked the annihilation of his entire army in exchange for a Qinghe army commander.

This is a big victory!

The Great Chen Dynasty really needed a decent victory.

So in the writing of the infantry captain, this battle became one in which he and Lieutenant General Li advanced and retreated together, and it was the infantry that opened the gap and the cavalry rushed in. In the end, with his support, Lieutenant General Li and Huang Zong fought a fierce battle and died together!

He even saw Huang Zong's flag, seal and Huang Zong himself with his own eyes!

There is no other way. If Lieutenant General Li were to take such a great achievement to the underworld, everyone would think it was a waste of talent.

A carrier pigeon took off into the sky and brought the good news to Chen Yu who was eagerly waiting.

Overjoyed, Chen Yu ordered the good news to be announced to the entire army. The infantry captain was promoted three levels and was directly given the title of commander-in-chief, while the lieutenant general Li, who had died for his country, was posthumously named the commander-in-chief.

For the Qinghe intelligence agents lurking in Chen's army, there was no need to inquire about such news. After all, everyone was celebrating such a victory, and it was being told to everyone they met.

A carrier pigeon quietly flew out of the Chen Dynasty military camp and headed straight for the Qinghe fortress group, bringing this shocking news.

Cheng Guorong and Wang Zuo didn't believe the news at all at first.

The First Army still firmly controls Zhaoyang City. How could the commander be dead?

What was even more fatal was that the wired telegraph needed a relay station to forward it, and this relay station was located at No. 1 Jia...

So when the time came, Cheng Guorong and Wang Zuo were completely unable to contact Zhaoyang City.

According to wartime regulations, if important intelligence cannot be disproven, it must be treated as if it is true.

The news of Huang Zong's martyrdom was quickly forwarded to the rear.

At this time, Xue Wuxia was still in the mountains, hunting rabbits to satisfy her hunger...

Lin Hai was completely stunned when he saw the news.

An entire army and a city were unable to protect their commander?

Because the carrier pigeons could only carry limited information, Chen Yu did not announce the details of the battle (in fact, he did not know either), so when the news reached Qinghe, everyone had a preconceived notion that Huang Zong was killed in the city's attack and defense.

"If a reorganized army, with 15,000 combat troops and auxiliary troops, and all the new weaponry we're equipped with, can't stop the Chen Dynasty's vanguard, then is there any point in us fighting?"

Lin Hai spent half a day alone in the office looking at maps, eating plate after plate of sunflower seeds to whet his appetite. Finally, Shi Zhen'er, who was waiting at the door, heard the plate of sunflower seeds hit the ground with a "bang", and saw Lin Hai come out and yell at Ling Yang:

"Tell the factory to increase production, whether it's napalm or explosive packs, and work in three shifts. The machines won't stop even if the workers take a break. I don't believe the Chen Dynasty's soldiers are made of iron. They can't be killed by bombs or burned!

Tell Xin Yuetu that he doesn't have to fight in this battle, but he can't just sit there and do nothing. Let him give the Nineteenth Brother the opportunity to attack, and let the Second Army attack the heartland of the Chen Dynasty through Xin Yuetu's territory!

Find someone to send a letter to Xia Junao, telling him that we need military access to some areas of the Liang Empire, and let the eldest brother lead the Fourth Army from Hanzhong, bypass Liang and attack the northern border of the Chen Dynasty.

Tell Cheng Guorong that no matter what the cost, Chen Yu's main force must be held hostage on the line from the fortress to Zhaoyang, and they are not allowed to return for support.

We originally didn't want to fight a full-scale war, hoping to preserve some vitality for this world. Since we can't keep it, we have no choice but to resort to drastic measures! Notify all levels of government to prepare for a full mobilization. If Cheng Guorong can't hold on, we must send him support immediately.

Also, prepare immediately, set out this afternoon, command the advance, we are going to the fortress!"

Huang Zong did not avoid danger.

After receiving intelligence and going out of the city to reinforce, he naturally encountered an ambush by the Chen Dynasty.

This is why he arrived at No. 1 Jia two days later than the Chen Dynasty light infantry.
